Here's a pronunciation question inspired by ANTM: jaguar, jag-wahr or jag-u-ar?
I just got to that! I would say jag-wahr, except if I'm talking about a car and mocking the ads.
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

One of my coworkers is on NOVA. He's really articulate (a public outreach scientist) and has written a couple of books, but really, I like listening to him talk because he's got an awesome accent and voice. And huh, has a wikipedia page. Where I just learned he was born in Romania but raised in Israel, and served in the IDF as a paramedic. [link]
For some reason, I always thought he was Italian. Huh.

Also, the majority of our foreign-accented folk are Italian, but now that I think about it, his accent is not italian. But I've never really thought about it before.
